We appreciate you for providing additional information, JasonB17. Let me share some details about why your sales price updates whenever you modify the cost of an item in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
Whenever the Automatic Cost & Price Updates is enabled, the cost of an item automatically adapts together with the changes made. It might be the reason why your sales price alters when modifying the item's cost.
To avoid this from happening again, we can switch it off by following the steps below:
- Open your QuickBooks company file.
- Go to the Edit menu and select Preferences.
- On the Sales & Customers, click the Company Preferences tab.
- From the Custom Pricing section, select No Custom Pricing to completely turn this off. Meanwhile, you'll also see the Enable Price Levels option. If you're curious about this, you can review this article: Price levels - QuickBooks Desktop.
- Once done, click OK.
Furthermore, you may also back up your company file. This way, you'll have a copy of your file in case you made unnecessary changes on QuickBooks. To guide you with this, please check this article: Back up your QuickBooks Desktop company file.
Also, I'm adding an article about managing your inventory items: Add, edit, and delete items in QuickBooks Desktop.
